[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do vaccinate against polio too. [/quote]

Which vaccines are you avoiding? [/quote]

MMR, DTaP, Polio, & PCV are vaccines we do prioritize.
We avoid Hep A, Hep B, Varicella, Influenza, Covid, & Hib.[/quote]

Will you get them HPV when they are older?
[/quote]

No.[/quote]

That's a shame.  A good friend of mine died in her early 30s of cervical cancer brought on by HPV (the vaccine didn't come out until I was in my mid 20s).  If she'd had access to the vaccine she'd still be alive. Even if your kids choose to get it after they turn 18, the majority of girls are sexually active before turning 18, so it would likely be too late to help her.[/quote]

Sorry for your loss.

Our kids won’t be dating until college, and even then only will be dating to marry, so I don’t think they’ll need the HPV vaccine but if when they’re 18, they choose to get vaccinated, we’ll support their decision.[/quote]

Now you’re taking the piss. And of course the super parent of teens has never had any, if you’re anything other than a troll. Stop applying moral values to a medical procedure. You don’t know anything about how people will live their lives, so you’re going to expose your kids to the kind of miserable death that PP’s friend had. [/quote]

How common is it for people to have severe injury or death due to these diseases that these vaccines prevent?

You don’t see or hear about it as much as this thread is making it out be.[/quote]

Ok now I know you're a troll.  Because everyone knows it is incredibly uncommon to suffer death or disability from measles, polio, rubella, etc since the general population is highly vaccinated. Without vaccines, those diseases used to be so common!  [/quote]

I doubt she’s a troll, she’s just ignorant.   Most of the information on vaccines should,be common knowledge by now.

Smallpox and Cholera used to kill a large percentage of kids under five years old.   Smallpox no longer exists because people living through that nightmare stood in long lines to get everyone vaccinated.

The article linked above has a picture taken in the 1950s in Nebraska where hundreds of parents waited in line to get the polio vaccination.   And it was a trial study with half getting placebos before it came out for everyone the next year.   Now almost 70 years later some parents will risk having their children become permanently paralyzed rather than vaccinate. [/quote]

My Dad's a retired pediatrician and he's heard just about everything.

They have shown that excluding unvaccinated patients from practices is effective.  When push comes to shove most parents will vaccinate when faced with being dismissed from  pediatrician care.  It is also necessary to keep waiting rooms safer for the babies too young to be vaccinated.[/quote]
